Founded in 1947 by the American Automobile Association (AAA), the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is an independent, not-for-profit, publicly supported charitable research and educational organization dedicated to saving lives and reducing injuries by preventing traffic-related injuries and deaths. The Foundation is committed to sponsoring projects leading to real-world improvements in traffic safety. The Foundation's research and educational projects are funded by voluntary contributions from motor clubs associated with the American Automobile Association and the Canadian Automobile Association, individual AAA club members, and AAA-affiliated insurance companies. The Foundation supports research that is national in scope and considers the experience of other countries.
